Should I flip my first duplex or convert it to a single family?

[Sam Sharma]

I finally got an offer accepted ( first offer, first accept) on a 2/2 duplex in Frogtown, St Paul. It's a CAT 2. Intent is to flip it, haven't decided whether to keep it as a duplex or turn it back to single family. Any thoughts?

I would also love to get bids from general contractors in the St Paul/Minneapolis area, especially if you've worked with the city on CAT 2. Or recommendations on GCs would be appeciated. Thanks. I'm excited.  And scared out of my mind at the same time.
